I see a normal variation in color for a coin exposed to the environment for 50 years.

What you're seeing is called toning. Environmental factors can tone any coins different colors.

Normal cent, color variation is normal due to slight changes in the composition and environmental exposure.

With normal toning you may soon see some finger prints on your coin which will be there forever unless you wear gloves.
